The Golden House: A Novel Overview
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie is a novel addressing both the contemporary political moment in the United States, as well as eternal questions of identity, transience, and love. The novel is narrated by René, an intelligent but conflicted film-creator: René watches the Golden family, hoping to make them the subject of his dream-film, but along the way, he becomes implicated in the family's complicated web of relationships and lies. Through the stories of the Golden family and René's struggle, Rushdie delivers insightful commentary on issues ranging from the transgender movement to Greek tragedy, from the essence of identity to American politics.
